Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Symptoms

Recurrent pregnancy loss has no true symptoms as it is merely the name given to the occurrence of multiple miscarriages. However, it is important to identify the symptoms of miscarriage as a part of understanding recurrent pregnancy loss.

Signs of a potential miscarriage include:

• Fluid or tissue passing through the vagina
• Abdominal cramps
• Abdominal pain
• Lower back pain
• Vaginal spotting
• Unexpected bleeding

Most miscarriages happen before the 12th week of pregnancy, but can also happen earlier or later. In most cases, it is considered recurrent pregnancy loss if a miscarriage has occurred in three or more pregnancy.

Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Causes

The possible causes of recurrent miscarriage are many. In general, most causes are broken down in to two categories: issues that affect the fetus or embryo, and issues that affect the health of the mother.

Some recurrent pregnancy loss causes that extend from the fetus include:

• Abnormal development
• Lack of embryo formation
• Tumor in the uterus
• Genetic defects

While the majority of recurrent pregnancy loss stems from that list, maternal health problems may also cause the issue. Some health issues that may interfere with pregnancy include:

• Thyroid disordes
• Hormone imbalance
• Uterine fibroids
• Cancer
• Infections
• Diabetes
• Injury
• Advanced age

Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Treatment

There isn't just one recurrent miscarriage treatment. Instead, most plans will target the underlying issue. Much like the causes, treatment for this issue is broken up into categories: treatment that concerns the embryo and treatment that targets the mother.

Maternal treatment is based around eliminating or correcting the health issues that have led to the recurrent pregnancy loss.  Potential treatment options can include:

• Hormonal treatments
• Gynecologic surgery
• Medication
• Lifestyle adjustments

When the issue is genetic abnormality or an issue with the embryo, treatment will be different. Some of these potential treatments may fall under the umbrella of reproductive endocrinology  treatment. Options include:

• Genetic testing  and counseling
• In-vitro fertilization (IVF)
• Donor fertilization
• Close monitoring during pregnancy
